An Opp high school teacher is on leave after she was arrested for having sex with two different students, police said.

Ashley Hall, 33, was booked into the Covington County Jail on May 1, according to jail records. She is charged with two counts of a school employee engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student under the age of 19.

She was released from the jail the same day after posting $700,000 bond, $350,000 for each count. Hall taught English at Opp High School, according to the school’s website.

The trial for former Stanhope Elmore High School teacher and track coach Jeffrey Stanton began on Wednesday.

“All the state of Alabama has to prove is that he was a teacher at Stanhope Elmore and she was a student and they had sexual intercourse, it specifically says consent is not a defense,” said Assistant District Attorney Mandy Johnson.

Sooner or later the strange cases of Alabama teachers engaging in sexual behavior with their students was going to catch the attention of somebody with either a microphone, TV camera or web site outside Alabama.

And it has.

The Daily Caller recently posted the provocative version of a vintage Alabama greeting card – the one shown above. I received a number of emails from friends and educators I have known over the years cringing at the image and headline but also asking me to share it to show that in the www dot world we connect not just to ourselves but to many others outside our borders.

As you can read, the Washington-based web site used a slide show of the accused teachers to prove their contention that “Alabama is the teacher-student sex capital of the USA.”
